Ready for quilting

My dear visiting cat, Elliot, enjoys waking me up around 5:00am. After I feed him he goes downstairs, snuggles up against Grace, and sleeps the rest of the morning. I've shown this quilt top before, but today I got it out to prepare the backing and binding for quilting. Elliot decided to pose on the quilt and then I couldn't get him off to measure the size of the backing.Here he is, unconcerned that he is in the way. I pieced the center of the backing with leftover fabric from the quilt top.

The sides of the backing are this pretty polka dot fabric.

Getting up at 5:00am means I either go to bed early or take an afternoon nap - or both! A Queen needs her beauty sleep.

About Me

Retired and loving it. Now I have plenty of time to quilt, stitch, stamp, knit, read, and volunteer at church. There is also time to be lazy, stare out the window, waste time on the computer, and do Sudoku puzzles. I'm a happy camper!
